It occurred to me listening to Weather Report that next year is the 30th anniversary of Jaco 's untimely and tragic death. How about a tribute album with various bassists, particularly those renowned for playing fretless, to play their interpretations of tunes associated with Jaco. Anyone like to contribute suggestions of bass players that they'd like to hear on such an album? Any record producers out there who could take on this project ?

Some my personal suggestions for artists would be:
Kyle Eastwood
Bunny Burnel
Michael Mannering
Gary Willis
Pino Palladino
Laurence Cottle
Richard Bona

Could always do another but it has been done already.

Why not do a 'Basschat' take on a Jaco compilation CD? I'm sure a lot of people here could knock out a Jaco tune. It could be sold for charity perhaps.

Unfortunately, I'm rubbish at playing any Jaco lines :(

I'd be up for that. No idea what I'd play though 😳

I play a bad River People.....Jaco's movement up n down the fingerboard was superb.
